Jesse, 18, he/him, aromantic/asexual, I talk a lot about Type-Moon works and Pokemon. I chronically overanalyze everything and have lots of crazy theories. Also I write sometimes.
Spoilers for basically everything I like, but especially FGO JP.

I have like five different things I'm interested in too (writing, drawing, coding, psychology, neuroscience) and can spend all day working towards one of those things and then I still come out of it like "well, that was a waste of a day"
And I just don't get it

You know with how Richard is clearly involved in OC4 this is a little bit concerning to me now.

It turns out Orleans has more than I thought, so that's fun. Anyway, I'm reformatting stuff so that it doesn't show threads out of order cause that sounds annoying once I actually get through more than one chapter.
Anyway, Orleans spoils Ruler OC a lot.

I took a bit of a break because of lottery, but I'm ready to move onto Orleans. Admittedly, I'm not sure how much of this chapter will be important.
That said, given the Ruler OC is upcoming, I'm curious about exploring Jeanne's initial characterization again.

Okay I give up on making excuses he definitely fucking knows.
I know that's supposed to read as arc 1 finale foreshadowing, but... I can't help but think about how much that line might also apply to a certain somebody dying at the end of arc 2 who is very important to Mash...
HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW?

Nevermind, it's occuring to me how blatantly Ritsuka and Mash's arcs are the exact same.
Because this is quite literally just about Ritsuka absorbing the curses of each Lostbelt so that she can someday give back to them.

This paragraph is about Ruler Ordeal Call. That's all.

Honestly, Ritsuka and Mash kind of just adapt the beliefs of those around them, huh? No wonder Mash is kind of a mess in arc 2, since that person she relies on is falling apart.
But still, if it's human to decide for yourself, what does it imply about non-human things that possess that ability?

This line really does read differently after OC2, especially with the previous statements about Marie. I get the intention, but I don't know how to trust a single word from his mouth.
Then again, what does it say for a Demon God Pillar to be telling Mash something this vital to her character?

So would she consider that evil? It'll be villainized by society for sure, but is it not inherently saving an entire world? When does that cost become too much?
I guess the same can be said about Goetia, right? And even Ritsuka to a certain extent. Within that rigid framework, what is too much?

From my understanding, the Bleaching of the Earth is something that's meant to be inherently evil, because it's the sacrifice of an entire world for the sake of one. And yet, it's for the sake of healing and helping that one world to grow.

I'll be honest, this being her default implies a lot about Chaldea's viewpoint. It's an objective measurement of good/evil based off how society views something, which we know clearly from later on isn't a great metric.
It makes me wonder a lot about what her perspective on the Bleaching would be.

The idea of loving somebody being able to act as the "cornerstone" is interesting. I might be overthinking this, but it reminds me of Id.
Because he's talking about how Marie could've been the one to save them, but in Id the one who stops Ritsuka from choosing vengeance is Mash just by existing.

I feel like this definitely has deeper implications about our Artoria-faces. Then again, maybe I'm just prone to worrying about anything related to Artoria after Garden of Avalon.
But I think there's definitely something to be said about this "ideal King" archetype and how it relates to purity.

Let alone, we've had certain "Sigularities" that have Trees of Emptiness, or where one can be implanted into it midway, like Heian-Kyo or the FSR event.
So is that a Singularity or a Lostbelt? And how is it a Lostbelt if it was never pruned?
It just feels like there's a missing piece sometimes.

I keep having this nagging feeling that there's something to the connection between Singularities and Lostbelts that we're missing.
Why can a Singularity become a Lostbelt if it's not resolved soon enough? That's the consequence of a pruned world being brought back, right? How does that apply?

I know it's probably not important but I do wonder about this. Is it possible the Singularities have existed for longer than we think? There's certain ideas like this or how Ritsuka has dreams about them that make me wonder.
But I guess I could say the same about Lostbelts?

This is in reference to Apocrypha, isn't it? Except, Chaldea supposedly doesn't even have records of the Holy Grail Wars in Fuyuki, at least according to Roman in the Zero Accel event.
So how do they know about Apocrypha?

Also I appreciate them calling out Jeanne for being incapable of actual development, since she's actively denying the world at most turns. I know she's had a bit of development since, including within this chapter, but I do wonder how much that'll color her portrayal in Ruler Ordeal Call.

It is really interesting to see how much they focus on this idea of how complete annihilation is a form of salvation. It makes me wonder a lot about what the framing of our Ruler Ordeal Call will actually end up being.
A Ruler with the right to judge the world, and choose destruction if necessary.

This line here in Orleans also seems to imply it's not simply a function of the Class, but rather the position of "being the Ruler of a Holy Grail War", which would explain why our Rulers don't all have them in FGO.
But does that mean the Priestess is the Ruler Servant for the Lostbelts?
